Robber holds up gas station with tire iron

Police are searching for a man who used a tire iron to hold up a Fort Lauderdale gas station.

Investigators on Monday released a surveillance video taken during the June 23 robbery that took place at the Shell gas station located at the 1400 block of East Sunrise Boulevard.

The video shows a disguised man storming into the gas station's store with a tire iron and immediately begins yelling at the terrified clerk. The man, who wore black gloves and a black t-shirt draped across his face, repeatedly threatened to kill the clerk with the tire iron.

The thief then grabbed the cash from the register and fled from the area.

Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect to contact Detective Elijah Thomas at 954-828-6093.
